I've had really good luck and reliability with the reef octopus skimmer and the sicce syncra return pumps.

Agree with just about anything Reef Octopus for a skimmer, and Sicce makes great pumps as does Tunze. Can't go wrong with either

What size would you reccomend for the protien skimmer?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Depends on the size of your sump and your layout. What size chamber do you have for your skimmer?

 

[HouseofstoriedTails]

Sump size is 20 gallon long. the chamgber for the protien skimmer will be around 8 gallons

The Curve series is great! I like the Jeabo return pumpos. Both are quiet.
